Help Colombia Angel project from Kendall Miami
Angel Project
The Angel project sends to Colombia your USED CLOTHING, TOYS AND STUFFED ANIMALS. We distribute them among organizations that supports those displaced by violence and live in poverty. Today, there are approximately 4 million displaced individuals within Colombia due to poverty and internal violence.
What we do!
We pick up your donation and clean it or fix it up if necessary. Once the boxes are ready, we ship them to a specific organization.
Since 2006, we have sent hundred of boxes and over 10,000 stuffed animals and clothing to Salecian schools such as Juan Bosco Obrero and Obra Social Mornes. These organizations provide education for children and adults and help displaced individuals improve their lives.
We are presently supporting the project Amazonas Sin Limites and several small schools for the disable in Barranquilla. This work is done with the support of Colombian Volunteer Ladies and Sharing for Kids who are two non for profit organizations in Miami with women committed to make a difference. The store Runner’s High, a fabulous tennis shoe store, has contributed with the boxes for 9 years.
What you can do!
Our contributors support us it two ways: some donate bags and boxes of clothing and stuffed animals; others donate funds to pay for the shipment of these donation.
